Photograph by Terry Allen , National Geographic Your Shot
I ve long had a romance with wildlife and admired the work done by Marlice van Vuuren and her husband at the N/a an ku s Foundation in Windhoek, Namibia, especially in the area of cheetah conservation, writes Terry Allen , who shared this picture with our Your Shot community. Marlice hand-raised an orphan cheetah as part of her conservation efforts and enjoys educating visitors by providing the opportunity to walk with her and her cheetah. At the end of a sunset walk, [they] were interacting at the top of a small rise. I took several shots to get just the right positioning of both heads, conveying the great trust between the two.
Allen s image recently appeared in Your Shot s Daily Dozen .
